The woman returned to Ukraine as part of a mass exchange.



Yuliya Dvornichenko, who was released from Russian captivity two months ago, has finally been able to meet her sons who had been held in the occupied territories all this time, Minister for Reintegration of Temporarily Occupied Territories Iryna Vereshchuk has said . She also recalled that Yuliya was released from captivity in mid-October:

It was a big prisoner exchange when Ukraine brought home 108 of our women. However, two of her sons remained in the temporarily occupied territories: 11-year-old Mark and 18-year-old Daniel

The minister said that after Yulia was returned, the ministry immediately began fighting for the return of her sons:

It's been almost two months.Today they are together, the three of them, in Kiev.Despite this morning's rocket fire, they are happy.My team and I are too

Recall that Ukraine released 108 women from Russian captivity on 17 October. The head of the Presidential Office, Andriy Yermak, reported that 37 women evacuated from Azovstal, 11 officers and 85 privates and sergeants. Of these, 35 were female defenders from the Ukrainian Armed Forces, 32 from the Navy, 12 from Territorial Defense, 8 from the National Guard (including 2 from Azov), 5 from the State Special Transport Service, 4 from the State Border Service. Another 12 released from captivity were civilians.
